We've listed other brown-eyed folks in this greater category. Try some Jose Feliciano--as always with him, the guitar is gorgeous:

I just got hipped to Allen Stone in this performance review: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/11/arts/ ... eview.html
Bottom line--sings like Stevie Wonder, stage mannerisms courtesy of Joe Cocker.

Listen to this cat (he's 12) wail on a N*na Simone tune--no Justin here:

I sincerely hope he doesn't get ruined. Ronan Clarke, and it doesn't start cooking til 1:25

If you think you know what autism is all about, this may alter that thinking:

Nice bit of a capella here, after all the ya-ya:

Think this one is all legs and popsongs? These would leave you to think that:

This should otherwise persuade (she's a true jazz singer, thus voicing like a horn):

YouTube associations can be your friend--here's direct evidence: A Glaswegian, magnificent voice in the 70's/80's, soulman to the bone, working his way back from a coma (wanna meet a REAL fighter?)--Frankie Miller. << Discovered via the above-mentioned Michael Grimm.

Another voice that disappeared into Europe-only audiences (love him in Russia)--Chris Rea. More bluesman than soulman, he can deliver a lyric:

AYB, Brother and here 'tis:
Lee Michaels--According to this Site (Concert #8), he's out of the music biz after some unfortunate events: http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewwork.asp?id=20450
OTOH here's his Website: http://www.leemichaels.com/LeeMichaels.com/home.html
And here's the restaurant: http://killershrimp.com/
Bartholomew Eugene Smith-Frost ("Frosty")--Can't find out much past 2000, but if he's gigging, it's probably in the Austin, TX. area. Will continue to research.

Add in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1viCVYsEHHo << should be the CRT Anthem

Jazzbo-Thanks for all the research, but your findings are both scary and disturbing! I should have left things lie in mystery!!
